As teams become more distributed and software systems increasingly complex, the difficulty of coordinating development processes becomes significant. Software Process Technology supports the planning and execution of software development processes to be managed and supported by computer programs. This paper describes the development of a decentralised process support and management tool, and explores its functionality for both process modelling and enactment. The focus is on a highly distributed and service-oriented approach with the intention of providing good distribution of system components and easy integration of third-party tools and remote services for coordination by workflow.
